Milfner Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 How is he not on that level, he carries arsenal and on the rare occasion that he's played for England he has looked top drawer Doesn't even deserve to be mentioned in the same breath as them. He's not even as good as Fabregas, let alone Xavi and Iniesta. Plus he's a **** prick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dont_do_it_doug. Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 Christ. Xavi and Iniesta are amongst the top ten players in the world, though I do believe Iniesta is overrated to some degree (as in he's not in the top 5 or so) comparing Wilshire to them at this stage is absolutely ridiculous. Yes he makes Arsenal tick, when he's fit which is rare, but it's worth baring in mind this is a very poor Arsenal side in comparison to those past. Which were never up there with the current Barcelona set up, nowhere near. Invincibles or not. He could in my opinion, potentially, go on to be as good as Fabregas perhaps. That's not entirely unrealistic and would be fantastic news for England. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 good player but Xavi and Iniesta are arguably the best midfielders ever. Wilshere is miles away from that level and if honest in England he needs to move to Man United to get close to world class level Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted December 17, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted December 17, 2012 He's very very good. But... SHOCKINGLY... SGC has somewhat oversold him here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brumerican Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 I just hope I get to see him play once in the flesh before he retires . We are lucky to be alive at the same time as Jack Wilshere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkyvilla Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 I remember watching Wilshere against Barca picking the ball up just outside the edge of his own box and turning quickly just before a couple of their pressing attackers got to him, meaning he could break through and carry the ball forward into space to set up Arsenal attacks. It showed a bit more nerve and ability than any other English midfielder I've seen and he was only a teenager then. He probably won't be up there with Xavi and Iniesta but he is going to be top class, assuming his injury problems are over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtsimonw Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Xavi and Iniesta are amongst the top ten players in the world, though I do believe Iniesta is overrated to some degree (as in he's not in the top 5 or so) A bit OT, but I do agree here. Xavi is top 5. I really don't think Iniesta is and I honestly might not put him in the top 10. Massively overrated (in the sense that I in no way see him as top 3/4 in the World).

Troglodyte Posted December 17, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted December 17, 2012 Iniesta overrated? Jesus Christ! You guys are entitled to your opinion I suppose, but Iniesta is absolutely amazing. Pretty much every time I watch him play football he does something that looks absolutely impossible. His close control, awareness and technique are phenomenal.

AVFCforever1991 Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Iniesta would get into any side in the world imo. Wonderful Player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisVillan Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 I think I'd take Iniesta over Xavi, just about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMFy Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 I don't think many would argue that Xavi and Iniesta aren't the best midfielders of their generation. To say that Wilshere is already on their level is crazy. This. He is a good player but not Barca standard. Neither is Gareth Bale, despite playing a blinder against Real a couple of years ago...

AVFCforever1991 Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Remember he is still only 20 years old, he won't reach his peak for at least another 3-5 years. Really great for England though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeyp102 Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Doesn't even deserve to be mentioned in the same breath as them. He's not even as good as Fabregas, let alone Xavi and Iniesta.
